Nice grow mate!!

Got an Ice kush myself thats a few days from the chop ,just waitting for those trichs to turn a wee bit more,my main cola has 2 huge fat thumb buds protruding from the top like a set of ears on a rabbit(perfect for sitting my nose in for a nice sniff!)

Grew mine in 10ltr pot with soil/perlite fed advanced nutes,looks like it'll be a good yield

nice gratz man
just out of curiosity did yours only take 8 weeks like the seed sites say or did it take longer

It looks great and it seems like it would yield nicely.
I would make sure more than proper venting is supplied to prevent mold in these stages.

plenty of venttilation and air flow man humidity ranges between 35% and 50% in a 24hr period on average
and also dont 4get these plants are spose to be fairly resistant to mold

I always like to keep a lot of airflow if my canopy gets so dense. we don't wanna check HOW resistent to mold the plant really is

yeah i got plenty of air movement man
i got 2 circulating fans in there

i have this grow book written in oz by ashleys sister which says in india they throw their buds at the wall and the ones that stick (due to resin) are the pick of the bunch now those buds would stick like buggery would look choice under a microscope

yeah the trichs are starting to look very cloudy im thinking/hoping only 2 to 3 weeks to go
these would stick to the wall np lol

i noticed the tips of a couple of the colas that are/were getting a bit close to the hps started to show signs of bleaching on the leafs so i have pulled them out to the side via some lst to the walls fingers crossed it works cause i aint got no where to go with the light lol

i will post some pics l8r

ok heres some more pics



and the baby's

Looking very nice man it's like a sea of green but only 1 plant, the ww is taking off now i can see and fuck me ronda that clone is so darn bushy lol
Pic #8 is a great shot, i can see the calyxes are swelling nicely in that photo

yeah pic 8 is prob my fav bud shot so far
mmmmmmmm buddddddddd
today is the start of week 7 so hopefully only 2 weeks to go hard to tell she still got white hairs no red/brown but fuck her trichs are getting cloudy
oh and my 60dw popped today might start another journal or just add it in here not sure yet

lol this journal is starting to spice up now, free bud porn for all

when are you going to start flushing this lady?

well the plan is week 8 is flush week which is next week
but im not sure as none of her pubes are going red/brown
i will have to look round again see if any more info has popped up on this strain maybe her pubes stay white?

My rule of thumb is flushing a week after the pods really start to swell, regardless of anything else. In soil.

Its a girl
lol heres a couple pics of the new addition she will go in a tea/perlite mix 21litre pot outside

60dw (fem)

I've been following Napa's journal he has a 60dw which his harvested already and his plant had nice colours to it man, his buds had pink calyxes looked very nice

Edit: Here's the link https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/350467-napa23s-2nd-go-auto-blue-21.html

wow thats one trippy looking plant lol

on another note had a bit of a surf looking for info on this ice-kush and her pubes and from most the pics i seen her pubes pretty much stay white

Mine is starting to change color, and you have some time left until they'l start browning.

im going by the trichs man and they cloudy as fuck with some hints of amber starting to appear here n there so im thinking they almost ready
i dont care any more if hairs are white or red after looking round the net
as i stated b4 nearly every bud shot of ice -kush i could find had bugger all red/brown hairs and some didnt have any

Sounds like a sativa that i grown before, i harvested when most of the hairs were still white because the trichs were ready
the white hairs turned orange after the chop

I never harvest based only on trichome color.
Some strains have amber trichomes after 3 weeks. Trichomes can degrade to amber color by over-radiation from the light.


This plant:

IS NOT READY.
It has around a month left, if not more.

People take pictures of the buds when everything is white because it looks "better". They don't chop it straight afterward.

hmm interesting man
food for thought
